What the really need is user management, so big corps can adopt it. Currently with the user self-service it‘s a no-go.

This looks great and the self hosting instructions are fine too. But I think the Apps don‘t support using your own server yet, right?

Instead of using a main FORM, you could use a main method. The advantage of that is, that the ABAP compiler prohibits certain obsolete statements in a class context, so you are not only avoiding the already obsolete FORMS, but you are also securing your coding from any other obsolete statements.

This a great post of something every SAP developer has to write down for himself at some point.

One thing I would note though, is that FORMS are deprecated and shouldn‘t be used, so removing them from your personal template is good idea.

Apart from that: Great job!

According their site https://www.isarconwindowsyet.com/ they currently onboarded 7 users at this point. Hardly worth the news, I think.

> Google Maps showed a 0.006% error rate over 1,000,000 tests, with errors spanning thousands of miles.

> Out of 1,000,000 tests conducted, we encountered 60 failures, instances where Google Maps and our API diverged on the state or country returned.

That sounds way less dramatic as the headline makes it out to be.

The arguments against rust in this case seem weak and it becomes even stranger when they decided to follow the exact same approach as tauri, just implementing it themselves (and therefor not profiting from all the work the tauri team has already done). Maybe they should have done a bit research and would have arrived at tauri as their logical conclusion or maybe I‘m missing something in their argumentation.

I‘m skeptical of the study as well, but the way you frame it, it reads like ChatGPT would just reflect the raw internet opinion, which certainly isn‘t the case. There are steps of fine-tuning, expert systems and RLHF in between, that can and most likely do influence the output.

New comment by Jack5500 in "Leaked source – CS:GO"

Jack5500 — Sat, 03 Jun 2023 15:39:02 +0000

This world view is quite perplexing, to be frank. On one hand, he urges potential users to switch to Linux, emphasizing its cost-free nature and the freedom it offers in terms of code and game direction. However, on the other hand, the code being used is stolen and leaked, thus infringing on the original creator's copyright. Additionally, the repository's license claims that all contributions are considered public domain, which adds to the oddity of the situation. Since there is no legitimate license permitting the existence of this code, it is even more peculiar that a custom license is being invented, allowing contributions to this clearly stolen source code to be considered public domain.

So wait, is the switch to GPT4 done now or will it be done with Copilot X? The wording seems unclear to me
